A Marine lieutenant colonel received no punishment after being convicted at a special court-martial in September of stealing hundreds of dollars in merchandise from the post exchange in Camp Humphreys, South Korea, court records say.

Lt. Col. Samuel K. Lee, 47, was convicted of larceny on Sept. 11 at Camp Foster, Japan, according to the Marine Corps’s most recent report on court-martial dispositions.

The report noted that “consistent with the plea agreement, the military judge did not impose punishment.”

Under military law, U.S. service members can face hefty fines, up to one year of confinement, and dismissal from the service if convicted of larceny. But since Lee appeared before a special court-martial, the judge did not have the power to sentence him to confinement or dismissal.

Kinda makes you wonder who HIS daddy is,doesn't it?

I am guessing this has never happened before in the entire history of the USMC.

Unless there was some sort of plea bargain in force here to get him to agree to testify against other officers more senior than he,this stinks to high heaven.
